Responding to the Auckland Mayor's latest outburst - telling Auckland Ratepayers' Alliance members calling on the Mayor to sign the Ratepayer Protection Pledge to 'f*ck off' — Auckland Ratepayers' Alliance spokesman, Sam Warren says:

"The comments are water off a duck's back. He's known as Mr Grumpy for a reason."

"Wayne Brown likes to frame himself as a ratepayer hero. He talks the talk, but won't walk the walk. Hundreds of incumbent and hopeful candidates around New Zealand have signed the Ratepayer Protection Pledge. Other cities' leaders are saying 'yes' and have signed the Pledge. So should Mr Brown."

"Unless Wayne Brown changes tack, he'll be delivering the highest ever rates hike for the Super City. He should be swearing about that."

Note:

The Auckland Ratepayers' Alliance is a not-for-profit community group dedicated to championing prudent fiscal management of our Super City. Membership is free and open to all Aucklanders who sign up at www.ratepayers.nz.
